I’m actually doing this. This SAHM is now also a working mom. I’m making my career goal of
being an independent consultant come true. I have a business license, a business
name, domains for my website (to be built eventually if I ever bring in enough
revenue to do so), and several potential baby-sitters lined up and ready to
interview.
I have everything I need… except a work wardrobe. I met with
a potential client a couple weeks ago, and my biggest dilemma was what to wear.
I haven’t had to wear Big Girl Office Clothes in over two years. So I hauled the bin labeled “Mel’s Clothes”
out of the garage, blew the dust off, and started trying on my old cute clothes that I used
to wear to work. Surprisingly, a lot of them still fit. Holla!
So the real question is, are any of them still in style?
After a bazillion wardrobe changes (and, yes, even a few tears), here’s what I
wore to my first client visit. What do you think? Did I do alright? I know it
looks remarkably like the outfit I showed you last week. I’m not feeling very
creative or brave when it comes to fashion these days, which is why I turn to
you on these matters. Keep in mind that Corporate America in California is very casual. I was actually a bit over-dressed.
Well anyway, I must have done something right because… I have
my first client! NOW I’m officially in business.
By the way, I’m way more nervous about finding the right
baby-sitter for Quinn than I am about this job, but more on that later. For
now, how cute are these shoes?
